Divestment policy requires companies to follow standards
By Tim Hrenchir Staff writer
The Kansas University Endowment Association is now investigating one company in its investment portfolio that has not complied with the selective divestment policy it adopted early this year, the Endowment Association president said yesterday.
Todd Seymour, the president, said adoption of the policy had been evolving since 1978 but only became official this year.
"This has been in the process for a long, long time." he said.
The policy hadn't been publicized, Seymour said, because it is strictly an internal procedure.
"We sometimes don't realize what people know and what people don't know," he said. "This was one of the reasons why I just assume everybody knows."
Selective divestment is a policy in which investors demand that companies in their investment portfolio best invest in South Africa.

Beer sales on Sunday debated
TOPEKA - Call it a boost to the state's liquor image — or just its income — but an amendment to legalize Sunday beer sales was revived this year with only two days remaining in the session.
What has been known this session as the happy hour bill was amended yesterday in the Senate Federal and State Affairs Committee. It was amended to allow the sale of beer at all stores licensed to sell 3.2 percent beer, except liquor stores, after 1 p.m. on Sundays.
John Lamb, director of the Alcoholic Beverage Control, stood outside the committee door and shook his head. He had mixed feelings about the changes, he said.
The bill permits Sunday sales at conventions, concerts, golf courses, marinas, racetracks, sporting and special events.

companies investing in South Africa promote racial reform within their ranks.

Seymour said he would not release the name of the company that had not complied with either proposal, but he said its stock represented 0.2 percent of Endowment Association earnings.
If a company does not sign either of the two proposals, Seymour said. Endowment Association staff will find out why, then make a decision whether to divest in the company's stock.

Seymour said that in certain situations, the Endowment Association might continue to hold stock in a company with South African interests that hadn't signed the Sullivan Principles, but such circumstances would be unusual.

told Brian a few jokes, and Danny Manning gave the aspiring basketball player some shooting pointers.
"I love the game and being down there with everyone on the team." Brian said.
The ball boys tend to think that they have the best seat in the house.
"I learned the fans are kind of rowdy," said Brandon Dabbs, grandson of Leroy and Cathy Dabbs, Lawrence. "They are always yelling and asking me about the job. The fans really get into the game."
This was Brandon's first year as a ball boy. He worked both the junior varsity and varsity games.
Brandon hopes to someday play center for a college team. He said he learned from watching the players to dominate the boards.
"I got to learn a lot about the game by watching," he said.
Newman said that girls have not shown a lot of interest in being ball girls for the men's teams. If girls did show a lot of interest, Newman would be faced with a problem — the ball boys help clean up the men's locker room.
Dear Mr. Cook,
I am interested in becoming a ball girl for the women's basketball team. I am an avid Jayhawk fan and I enjoy watching the Kansas women's team.
Sincerely, Mary
Kevin Cook, assistant women's basketball coach, says he receives several requests each year from young girls wanting to be ball girls.
"I love basketball myself."
Kelly said, "It was a great opportunity to be with Lisa. I want to play college basketball myself."
"Lisa and I are very close," Kelly said. "We usually work out together when she is home. She is
The ball girls duties are the same as the boys. They also fill the water bottles, place towels on the team benches and wipe up sweat on the floor.
"We try to keep them until their eighth-grade year," Cook said. "It is to achieve continuity. They are a vital part of the team. It is an important position. They do unsee little things."
Kelly Dougherty, 14, daughter of Alonzo and Ellen Dougherty, Leavenworth, finished up her second season as a ball girl this year. She commutes from her home to work as a ball girl and see her sister, Lisa, a Kansas guard, play ball.
Kelly said Cook contacted her about being a ball girl. She jumped at the opportunity.
my only sister, so getting to come down here was like a treat for me."
Kelly said the work was exciting and she got to know her idols better.
"I am learning about the competition you're going up against," she said, and seeing how the coaches treat their players."
Jennifer Turgeon was not as lucky this year.
Jennifer, the daughter of Bob and Linda and sister of Mark, was struck by mononucleosis at the beginning of the season. She said she worked only two games.
Turgeon said that Cook asked her father if she could be a ball girl for the women's team.
"I thought it was great because I love basketball," she said. "I was privileged to do it."
